Often, the quality of the responses received is related to our ability to
'bounce' ideas off of each other. In the future, to make it easier for us to
give you ideas, and to prevent folks from wasting time on already answered
questions, please:
Don't post to multiple newsgroups. Choose the one that best fits your
question and post there. Only post to another newsgroup if you get no answer
in a day or two (or if you accidentally posted to the wrong newsgroup -and
you indicate that you've already posted elsewhere).
If you really think that a question belongs into more than one newsgroup,
then use your newsreader's capability of multi-posting, i.e., posting one
occurrence of a message into several newsgroups at once. If you multi-post
appropriately, answers 'should' appear in all the newsgroups. Folks
responding in different newsgroups will see responses from each other, even
if the responses were posted in a different newsgroup.

Whoooah... easy there, Sparky. Change the parameters in your auto-response
script to at least wait for triple or quad posts. Two is NOT a big deal.
And for the record, I didn't double-post at first because I wanted to avoid
exactly this kind of hassle. I just wasn't sure whether people would think
of SSMS as a Tool or as SQL General, and when I saw the relative infrequency
of posts in Tools, I thought I was more likely to get a response from
General. Though so far, your generic little hissy fit is the only response
I've gotten in either forum.
Take a pill, Stormin' Arnie.
